An excellent way of getting young children to look closely at some paintings. -- Margaret Mallet English Association Magazine A tour of important paintings in major collections is this time conducted via a narrative thread spun around the absence of cats in any of the pictures... It's a difficult trick to pull off visually and Bee Willey's distinctive part-digital paintings cleverly bring the whole idea to life.
